Title: Help identify drug my friends are using
Post by: JanHammer on January 31, 2012, 12:00 am
So my friends get this white powder that they simply call 'crystals' (not actual crystals). They pay $40 for 1g (second-sourced thus likely overpriced). Neither the dealers nor my friends know what it is... so I'm a little worried for their health.

What I know:

They use up to 1g a night per person
The said white powder is snored
They also drink alcohol when using it


Seen effects:

increased talkiness
increased motion but not by much
friendliness
they become thirsty
they are able to control themselves when needed (try and act normal)
the next morning they feel fine


That's all I know.
What could it be?

So you should be LOL, ask the dealers what THEY'RE suppliers say it is...?,  could be crystal meth or MDMA by the sound of things but it could be ANYTHING.

it's like that Guess Who boardgame but with drugs...

I really have no idea. My best guesses would be:
Methylone
Mephedrone

Reason I guess RC is that is way too cheap to be any of the big name illegal ones.

I'm sorry, but your friends are dumb-asses.  Who the fuck insufflates a gram of an unknown substance multiple nights in a row?  This is reckless and irresponsible.

4-MEC or similar. A lot of head shops where I am are selling it as 'legal coke' and cutting it with benzocaine and caffeine.

Yes, they are. I can't talk them out of it, that's why I wanna learn more about what they're taking.


After a bit of research on your suggestions, Mephedrone or 4-MEC seems to be most likely, especially because of the compulsive redosing part.

Thanks for the answers guys, much appreciated.

If its Meph chances are its cut to shit, and on top of that its very addicting so please inform them how dangerous their activities are.

Your friends are idiots, and their dealers are horribly irresponsible. One does not simply snort huge amounts of an unknown substance.

Whatever it is, I hope it isn't too dangerous. Someone (And I'm not implying it's you) should knock some sense into them...

If one of ya'll can get a MDMA testing kit with the 4-reagent system, you could likely verify what the substance is. Mephedrone is actually among the substances tested for by DanceSafe.org's kit. I bought the kit, but haven't actually tested it, yet.

Wow...just...rofl...
Some of the responses here regarding how fucking STUPID this guy's friends are (no offense man), are cracking me up.
I seriously can't believe that your friends are really snorting a fucking gram of an unknown substance, lmao...it's bad, but I honestly can't stop laughing just because of how ridiculous that is, like, I'm cracking up here for real. Ludicrous.
I'm really glad that you aren't doing it too though man, really good choice you made there.

I don't wanna sound like your mom here...but, your friends seem like a really bad influence, lol.

I mean, doing drugs is one thing, but doing UNKNOWN drugs?? This is almost as bad as that krokodil shit from Russia.
Eh, I don't know if it's that stupid. Most people take unknown drugs, really. I mean, sure, usually the dealer at least claims to know what it is, but they probably don't really.

I like to always know what I'm taking, with some form of scientific proof, but many other people will take others' word for it...

What you say is true, but someone else's word *is* proof. Not reliable proof, but proof nonetheless. It's on a whole different scale from buying something and snorting it when even the people selling it to you won't venture a guess as to its nature.

Meh. It's probably just wheat flower and the guys are getting high on placebo effect.

I appreciate the person who legitimately tells me they don't know what it is so much more. At least they're being honest with me. So many other instances they cut their product with potentially hazardous substances, but at least that guy was being 100% honest that he didn't know what it was. I'd disagree that their word is proof, but I think that's just getting into semantics; you and I are using the word 'proof' differently. Nowadays I typically only 'prove' what my substances are through the use of chemical reagents; even then you can't be 100% sure, but it makes me a lot more comfortable.
